1. Frank Christie Marker
Frank Christie was the produce of two divergent cultural traditions in the Bahamas. His father, Henry Christopher Christie, descendant of the Loyalist Christies, was a poet, and his mother, Margaret Alice Saunders, descendent of one of the earliest settlers, was a successful business woman. Frank followed his mother's practical outlook on business, whereas his brother, Sir Harold, inherited from his father a creative approach to enterprise. Frank Christie's trustworthy, down-to-earth manner earned him the respect of the Nassau community and secured him a seat in the House of Assembly for over forty-seven years. With his wife Frances, Frank often travelled to Abaco to fish and visit with his constitutents.
